 Ad Description:

This is a site on modern postal technologies: the mailing from the computer at home, data transfer to postal (or accredited) printing houses - and mailing on traditional ways into the postboxes of the recipients.
Although prepared at the computer, the recipient got a "real" postcard.
This must be considered as a new postal product also by the philatelists. The author- an Olympic and sports collector- collected examples of these new HYBRID technologies and gives some answers how to use them for the thematical philately.
Image 1:   Postage paid imprint at a Finnish hybrid card
Image 2:   Postcard from a short- term Swedish Post hybrid offer as support for the soccer teams of the first Swedish league
Image 3:   address side of the Swedish post hybrid soccer postcard offer- even a special thematic postage paid imprint has been used
Imae 4:     Among the very first was USPS  with its cooperating partner, Amazingmail. The client could choose either to make an own postcard or to choose from a wide range of postcard designs. Among them was one with postcards of famous singer Robbie Williams, acting as a soccer player and in other poses- a real multipurpose hybrid postal product for the thematic collector
Image 5:    Imprint for the SYDNEY 2000 Olympics at a so-called German FUNCARD- probably the rarest German postal product for the Olympics 2000.
